Derech Tamim [commentary to Psalms Chap. 119 and Hallel HaGadol]

BLOCH, YEHUDAH LEIB BEN WOLF.

J. Athias

Amsterdam

1661

FIRST EDITION. With illustration of Aaron the priest on the title.

Vinograd, Amsterdam 277 (not in JNUL); Fuks 382.

Both Fuks and Vinograd incorrectly record 12 leaves for this work. The present copy has 14 leaves as properly described by Roest (p. 200) and Friedberg (Daled 1232). The author hailed from Cracow and maintains in the introduction that whomsoever recites these two prayers together is ensured a place in the World to Come. By Hallel HaGadol he means the refrain “Hodu… ki leolam chasdo” to which his commentary appears on the final two leaves.
